i'm sure this has been discussed, but 1914 has to go away.
instead of, the overlapping generation teaching, they should have just ditched 1914. .
they should have done that a long time ago with 1975. it's the last of the teachings in the charles taze russell era.. i'm thinking they just will stop talking about it, and it will be out of the mind of the rank and file loyal witnesses .
Scholar,
Quibbling over exegeses and chronology will not remedy the passage of time or undo its damage to teachings that sprang from the 1914 chronology and the alleged proximity of the end.
Where, for example are the people who where told point blank in 1935 that they were the great multitude?
The last person I knew who was there and remembered that event died of old age in the late 1970's
the state university where we live has cultural festivals educating the public about art, food and music of the minorities in the community.
it is also an opportunity for some to generate a little income selling their wares and food.
the jws have successfully put up a booth right in the campus building and used it to actively proselytize and distribute literature.
^^What Joe said^^
The JW's have gained admittance under false pretenses
the bible is well known for its ellipsis* and its lack of explanatory statements of a term used.
there are exceptions in grammatical patterns, such as john exclusively using archon for ruler in his writings - which make the term self evident.sin - is defined"one" (unity) - is somewhat defined and also self evident from the context (no exceptions, every person part of that unity is listed in the context)an interesting thing to see would be how many terms are actually used and explained.
*the omission from speech or writing of a word or words that are superfluous or able to be understood from contextual clues..
Ellipses (Like 1 Peter 3:3 for example) are sometimes used to indicate incomplete grammar.
The presumption that the reader understands terms is a good argument (One of many) that the bible was written to, for and by people who knew the "backstory" and not us today.
i wonder how many are like me staying pimo for the great association and gathering etc.
also find it very interesting having a front row seat watching the collapse of borg.. im not wasting any more time or money on anything i don’t want to do like preaching and mostly just go on zoom .
there is nothing i want to do that would be considered disfellowshiping sin, i’m married and want to live by bible principles but i have serious doubts that the gb were chosen by god and are his one and only spokesmen on earth.
The Rashid Rover (UAE) and the SORA-Q (Japan) were launched on December 11 and are scheduled to arrive at the Atlas Crater in April of this year.
Both devices are aboard the Hakuto-R lander, which is taking a very long, 5 month, low energy orbit.
ispace announced on the 11th of this month that everything is on track and the two orbital control maneuvers taken so far were successful.

The Apollo and Lunokhod programs both placed retroreflectors that are still operational today. 3 were placed by Apollo astronauts and 2 were integral with the Lunokhod rovers.
Any country can use them and therefore any country could falsify the claims of either the US or RU (Or both) if the reflectors were not at the coordinates they are supposed to be at.
(And yeah. The LRO has photographed the tracks left by the Russian rovers and the Luna landers that carried them too)

The MESA, which was a small storage compartment lowered from descent stage of the module after landing had an integral bracket where the camera was fixed during flight. (MESA = Modular Equipment Stowage Assembly)

Aldrin lowered the MESA and activated the camera before Armstrong disembarked. That's way the actual recording is at such a goofy angle.

(In the Conan O'Brien interview above, Aldrin is talking about the actual landing of the Eagle module)

The landing animations were crude, even for the time. --Not even on par with Fireball XL5 and other children's shows
Here is the May 17, 2000 interview with Conan O'Brien where Aldrin mentioned them:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYPgU2Ge4Vw
Here is the relevant exchange:
Aldrin: “No, you didn’t. Because there wasn’t any television, there wasn’t anybody taking the picture. You watched animation so you associated what you saw with… you heard me talking about, you know, how many feet we’re going to the left and right and then I said contact light, engine stopped, a few other things and then Neil said ‘Houston, tranquility base. The Eagle has landed.’ How about that? Not a bad line.”
----------
There was no possible way to film the landing of the Eagle, as the cameras were securely stored inside it at the time of the landing.
O'Brien (who was six years old at the time) either misspoke or mistook whatever animation he saw for reality. Either way, Aldrin responded humorously, but accurately.

Aldrin's comment needs to be assessed in the context of "why something stopped" (His words) and Zoey's question, which was why nobody had been to the moon in a long time
Anything less is JW style dishonesty
I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that you weren't alive at the time and don't remember the animations (?)
